Mets vs. D-backs Game Highlights (5/5/25) | MLB Highlights

You know, the word of the night might just be fatigue. One of these teams will have to battle through it and find a way. Who will it be? We’ll find out together. Game one of a three-game series and sevengame home stand where the Diamondbacks play host to the New York Mets. Right-hander Ryan Nelson. Seven relief appearances now making his first start this year. The Corbin Burns was sent home early. He would miss this start here tonight with shoulder inflammation. He wanted to pitch through it, but they aired on the side of caution. The ball now goes to Ryan Nelson. Yeah. And hopefully Ryan will pick up right where he left off against the Mets in New York. He dealt four great innings in relief of Eduardo Rodriguez in that ball game. Nothing doing for Sodto. Looked a little bit like a pitcher around there. Big trouble behind him. It’s Pete Alonzo. The National League player of the month last month. Hard to short. Peromo for one. Marte turns it. Good start for Ryan Nelson. Griffin Kenny has got a sparkling one loss record. The team has won with him on the mound. Corbin Carroll will lay things off. Back from a pretty quiet road trip. Carol swings, cranks it out to deep right field. It sends Sodto back to the track. It is gone. Bang. Right off the bat by Carol. A welcome home for him. His 10th. And the Dbacks out in front one to nothing. That’s only the third home run given up all season by Griffin Canning. That’s how you start a ball game right there. So a rough beginning for Canning. It’s the first run he’s allowed in the first inning this season. See if Canning is rattled at all by that. Hits it hard and rolls it into right. A homer and a single. Open it up. So three and two on Smith. Nobody out. Bottom one. Swing and a miss. So a strike out for Canning. One away. And here’s the lefty Josh Naylor. Hit on the ground to second. McNeel has it. Flips to second for one. Little bit of a wide throw, but Lindor turns it over to first in time to get the slow Naylor. And the double play that gets Canning out of the inning in the top of the third inning. Here’s Tyrone Taylor. Tyrone Taylor drives one of the gap in right center field and that’s going to split him. It’ll go all the way back to the wall. Taylor has a head of steam around second. He’s going to try for three. The relay throw to third is not in time. Tyrone Taylor as hot as they come now. Five for six on this road trip. That’s his third triple of the season. The backs will bring their infield in to face Francisco Lindor with the tying run at third. Lindor swings towering fly ball to not very deep right field. Taylor’s at third. He’s going to try and come in. Here’s the throw. Play at the plate and they got him. Corbin Carroll throws up Tyrone Taylor. Oh, what a play by Carol. My work is done here, boys. Nelson has now worked seven innings against the Mets this year and allowed no runs and one hit. And so far so good in his first start of the year tonight. Eight straight balls to Juan Soda in two at bats. wants no part of Sodto. It’s a leadoff walk. Now, Pete has certainly seen Nelson well in the past. He’s got three career home runs against him in just nine at bats. Pete is not a guy that’s had great numbers at Chase Field. He’s going to try to change that. Swung on it and absolutely crushed a mile to left field. Guriel’s not even going to turn. Long gone to the seats and left for Pete Alonzo. A two-run home run and the Mets are on the board. They lead 2-1 in the fourth. It would have gone farther, but it bounced off the moon. Oh my, what a monstrous beginning to 2025 for Pete Alonzo. What a monstrous home run. That was a bomb. Wow. The season of Pete continues. So, Sodto has walked twice. NMO has walked twice. Here comes Brian Kaplan, the pitching coach, going to try and get Nelson back on track. Ow. And to the count on Mark Ventos. Little dunker into shallow right center. It’s going to fall for a base hit for Bentos. NMO goes first to third. And so the Mets have something working here in the fourth after taking the lead on Alonzo’s home run. 60 pitches now for Nelly. Only 33 for strikes. So he’s about 50% strikes here. Eight got him to chase the high heater that time. Second strike out. Both in this inning for Nelson. Nelson comes set and his two to McNeel is a ground ball. Weakly hit to second. Catel takes his time, gloves, tags Vientos. Oh, that was a gutsy play, but he gets the force out. The inning comes to an end. Canning trying to win a fifth consecutive start, something that no med pitcher has done since Zack Wheeler in 2018. Richard Canning, he’s been really good for the Mets. He was really good coming into the game and he’s been really good now that the game has actually started. Dodo making his 15th appearance. 368 RA, six walks, 14 strikeouts. Now you get the feeling that uh we’re going to see some more runs before this ball game is over. Francisco Alvarez deflected to second. Marte bare hand play. Contel made a nice play but Naylor couldn’t collect it. Yeah, slowed down and Catel’s got to put something on this throw and he unfortunately kind of locks up Naylor over there at first base. Got leather on it but just couldn’t make the play. So now one out and one out. Here’s Tyrone Taylor who had a triple to right center back in the third. That’s ripped down the left field line and that’s going to go all the way to the warning track where it’s knocked down by Goreel. Alvarez will have to stop at third and Taylor pulls in at second with his second extra base hit of the day. Second and third, one out. Francisco Lindor the batter. The one guy that couldn’t get on that plane after the double header fast enough yesterday was Francisco Lindor cuz you see he has just worn out the Diamondbacks in the couple of years that he’s been in the National League. Nor three hits in the Dback series at City Field last week. He doubled and homerred and he rockets this one to deep right field. Back goes Carol at the wall. It’s out of hair. Three-run homer. Francisco Lindor. Nearly splashed it down to the pool. Seventh home run of the year for Lindor. And it’s five to one New York. Perfect balance. Beautiful swing. And that was a thing of beauty. When everybody does a little something, it’s it just it’s amazing what this lineup can do. Everybody can strike fear into the hearts of an opposing pitcher. Sodto rips one down the line. Headed toward the corner. It’s off the fence. Sodto heads for second. Carol’s throw coming in. Not in time. A bullet off the wall for STO for a ringing double. The fourth hit of the inning and the third straight extra base hit for New York. And Lonzo rips one into left for a base hit. A piece just on everything. Got a change up to hit that time. Rips his second hit of the day. and his 45th of the season. And the Mets have runners at the corners for Stling Marte. Hard hit ground ball to second. Diving Marte has it. Flips to Catel or pardon me, Pernobo. One onto first. Double play and the inning’s going to come to an end assuming the Mets don’t challenge. What a brilliant play by Catel to get the Dbacks out of trouble. Daniel Nunees back on the mound. He was a revelation last year as a rookie at age 28 before he went down with a forearm strain. So Nunez in his season debut has walked three straight batters and that’ll get the tying run to bat and force Carlos Mendoza to bring Reed Garrett into the game. Diamondback saw Garrett at City Field last week. He gave up a home run in the ninth inning of that appearance. Home run here ties it up. Down the 2-2 struck him out. Got him with a splitter. One man down. Beautiful split. Trying to get something going. This is after all in the eighth inning. That’s been the magic hitting so many times for the Diamondbacks this year. Is ripped on a line to center field. That’s down for a base hit. It’s now five to2. Here’s Mr. Grand Slam himself. Base is full for Gino. Gino deep to center. Taylor backing up. Still backing up. He’ll play it off the wall. Gino Suarez makes it a one-run game. It’s the eighth inning magic again for the Diamondbacks in 2025. Garrett ahead on Moreno. One and two. And he struck him out. Got him with a splitter. Two men down. Goreel will be the eighth man up in the inning. And a dangerous hitter right here who’s been redot. Haters count for him on two and 0. Swinging a popup foul ground. First base side. Alvarez toward the front row. Has room. Makes the catch and the Mets survive the eighth with the lead. Edwin Diaz on for the bottom of the ninth in Arizona. Two balls in a strike and Thomas pulls one on the ground down to first. Alonzo handles it. Diaz comes and he’s safe. Bad toss. Thomas is a fast runner. It was a bad toss by Pete. So there’s the tying run ahead of Purdomo. Now the runner goes. The pitch outside. Alvarez’s throw. He’s out in second base. Oh, let’s see. He did hit the left foot before he hit the right foot. Have to review the call on the field stands. The runner is out. What a play by Lindor. He knows he needs to find a way on base. He’s going to make Diaz throw him another one. Chops it up in the air to left. Easy play for NMO out there. And it’s up to Corbin Carroll. And you got the right guy up right now. Well, last August, similar spot. Corbin Carroll. Big blow against Diaz. And now Carol that stands between Diaz and locking down this game for the Mets. Oh, and two to Corbin Carroll. He struck him out and the ball game is over. head when Diaz locks down the save and the Mets snatch a one-run victory in Arizona to snap a twoame losing streak.
